The fever and hallucinations lasted nearly a week, during that time Lee couldn't even move let alone eat, he lost a significant amount of weight in just a span of six days and after that he was on his way to recovery. Si took a great care of him, she was indeed a natural healer and Lee was thankful for everything she did for him, from feeding him, bathing him in some occasions and bringing down the fever when he was burning up.
There were days he couldn't tell whether he was dying or in his final days but Si assured him everything was right and they bounded in such weird way in that small farm house. Every morning Si milked her goats and boiled some the milk for Lee, she also made breads and sweet potatoes, she spread butter on the bread but not everyday only sometimes. Then she and Lee would indulge as they sat quietly on the mat eating hand in hand, observing each other, learning more about themselves and how they felt in the company of the other person.
